Mayor Neisen announced that a representative from B & E Patrol was present in
the audience. He asked Mrs. Connie Mossey if there was anything that the City
could do in her estimation to help control the dog problem in the City. Mrs.
Mossey said that increasing the patrol hours and changing the ordinance to allow
dogs to be picked up on private property would help. Mrs. Mossey said that in
March there were 19 dogs picked up and 3 claimed. When unlicensed dogs are
picked up, the owner is given 72 hours to obtain a current license. Mrs. Mossey
said that a leash law would also help control dogs at large.
Councilman Baumgartner read the provisions of the contract between B & E Patrol
and the City. In the discussion that followed it was noted that B & E does use
marked vehicles and that they perform other services besides dog pick up.
Through April, 1974 they issued 43 warnings, 19 summons, and handled 11,bite cases.
Mayor Neisen noted that the City is paying B & E Patrol $400.00 a month for two
hours per day patrol time.
B & E patrols all City streets and only picks up dogs off of private property.
Mrs. Mossey suggested the institution of a paid clinic to provide rabies shots
at reduced rates and pet care instruction.
MSP (Neisen- Johnson) To set a public hearing for July 8th at 8:30 P.M. to consider
amendments to the dog ordinance giving consideration to the institution of a leash
law, allowing pickup on private property, a pet clinic, and amendments to the
